The Hollows Golf Club - Cottage/Road
Rating Snapshot
About
Located in Montpelier, Hollows Golf Club has a 27-hole layout that is considered one of the best values in the area. The holes are divided into three nines that provide three different 18-hole combinations. The Cottage, Lake, and Road nines come with enough variety to offer something for players of all skill levels from low handicappers to more experienced players. The green fees are applicable the whole day, which allows golfers to play all three courses if they have the time and the inclination. The Cottage/Road combination only has water on one hole, but it is a memorable one. The hole is Cottage's par 3 third, which is the golf course's signature. There is not only a formidable pond along the right but also an 8-foot bunker on the left. In addition to the golf courses, the Hollows also has an all-grass driving range and putting green.

Value!
Course is in good shape and the greens were in even better shape. Great round for the money!
First time
First time playing this course. Staff was friendly and informative. Pace of play was great for us. We were able to take our time to ride up the cart paths and check out some of the fairways before teeing off. Not usually afforded this at most courses. Marshal was friendly. Couldn’t have ask for a better experience. Look forward to the next visit.
Good day for golf
Decent conditions. Just plugged, so no true outta.
Decent for the price
Decent track, recently aerated greens, and average challenge; potential for improvement includes yardage markings, water, ball cleaners and paved cart path.

Weather was perfect. First nine good pace. Second nine slow. Had to wait to tee off at several holes. Everyone was courteous while waiting to tee off.
Not bad
Greens were recently aerated, but all things considered not bad.
Grounds Keeper Needed!!!
We played the road course and lake course for our 18 hole round. The road course was pretty bad. We understand we've had a rainy spring, but price isn't being discounted for poor conditions either.
We booked the round as a "hot deal" through golf now which still came out to $35 pp. We play there for the convenience of being closer to home or we wouldn't go back until things improve.

Hollowa
People out there are nice. It is a nice place for a round of golf with the flexibility of three nines to help manage the pace of play
In need of tlc
Amazing friendly informative staff. The course is just in poor condition. Perhaps it’s the time of year but in bad shape

dog track
Owners indifference to the game and the players makes this a dog track. 1. No directional markings to any of the three 9 hole courses. 2. No distance markers on the fairways. 3. Only two porta potties both poorly identified. 3. Clubhouse is dingy. 4. Men’s room old and dirty. 5. No ball washers on golf course. 6. Cart paths are poorly maintained gravel or dirt. 7. The greens are ok but the fairways and tee boxes need to be replaced. Need I say more.

Great bang for the buck!
It is a popular, yet well-groomed course. With three “9-hole” tracks, there is plenty of variety. Course was in wonderful shape for winter conditions. Love it
Could be so much more!!
Yes, it was my first time playing and I took into winter conditions but they should have paid me to play this course! The grounds crew needs training or replaced!!
The entire course has a ton of potential and if I won millions I would buy it and make it a premium course in the state if not the USA. It needs a redesign and complete renovation (with better irrigation) but the lake and naturally wooded course is being under utilized as a redneck course! It could surpass the Federal club with the right owners.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We appreciate your feedback and apologize if your experience was not up to your expectations. We will take your comments into consideration as we strive to improve our course.
Much improved
I have been going to the hollows for 16 years although I do not play the course more than 5 or 6 times per year it has come a long way. The course over the last three or four years have greatly improved the fairways and greens they have never been as good and the turf conditions are excellent.The pro shop staff has not changed over the years they are still very indifferent to the golfing customer.They seem to not want to be there but I could be wrong. I would give the hollows a try you will like the turf conditions This is coming from from the perspective of a pga professional who has been in the golf industry for 40 years working at the best private golf courses in the the northeast.
